West Brom boss Tony Pulis was pleased with Jake Livermore's performance in victory over Stoke City.

Livermore was arguably man of the match on his full debut with an all-round battling performance that helped the Baggies beat Stoke 1-0 and notch their sixth league win in seven at The Hawthorns.

"He's going to be a good player for this club, he's got lots of energy, lots of good attributes," said Pulis. "He's still wayward at times when he gets dragged out of position but he'll get his hands dirty.

"We've got some good footballers, when you look at (James) Morrison, (Chris) Brunty, (Nacer) Chadli, Salomon (Rondon) as well, so we need a couple of people who can get their hands dirty when needed and second half I thought he was fantastic."
